Sterling Baked
Electrolysis electrodes and electrolytes (materials)?
So I’m lazy and I want to build a small volume electrolysis device. For electrodes is .999 Fine Silver a viable candidate and will sterling corrode significantly faster? Also, for the electrolyte would sodium bicarbonate be less effective than Magnesium sulfate (baking soda vs epsom salts?) Or is there a better solute that can be easily obtained in a fairly (99%+) pure form? Sodium chloride is out as in any chloride salt as I don’t want chlorine gas evolution. I will be using 12V DC current in series or inline through either 2,3, or 4 devices. What would you recommend for optimum output of both gasses?
Anyone? I really just want to know how well fine silver will stand up compared to 316L Stainless Steel and platinum Plated Copper. Nothing is more conductive at normal temps and pressures and silver is fairly inert? Sterling is nearly as good, but will it tarnish and corrode under sustained electrolysis?
For electrolytes use sodium carbonate. You can get this by heating sodium bicarbonate 60+ C so it decomposes. Sodium carbonate dissolves better in water and is a stronger base, thus more conductive.
Try the silver but if the water turns blackish it is converting to silver oxide. Carbon and platinum electrodes are good.
